The Reimagined Space

Being quite excited about completing all my models in a timely manner, my confidence was brought down to earth after having a look around at the marvellous work of my peers. Realising that this might be my final communications, subject I was unhappy with the box-like structure that I had named my best imaginative space… and so I began to ponder improvements. Initially I had set out just to improve the detailing of the original space this involved the construction of a new balustrade along with some furniture.

Then deciding I had taken enough photos of the interior I begun to cover up incompletions in the model that were let to aid the ease of photography. This involved closing the roof, creating a balcony and moving the stairs. Resulting in a new model altogether.

The model was finished with the addition of a bathroom window, Screen doors and pot plants made out of old coffee pods and small twigs. Completely redifining the exterior facade, resulting in a Reimagined space.

Begun translating mys section into a 3D Design, currently the exterior of the upper floor and gallery is complete. Two Stairs need to be either redesgined or added, and lansdcape modelling is incomplete. Basic progression in the build is shown through the images below. The following section has been chosen for construction. Diffuse Striation The hexagonal dome was the most obious part of the section and so was intially constructed, a smaller dome being madw within to act as a sort of photography studio for the Kyza. The stright parts of the section were elongated into a trapezoidal shape to accomodate a geodesic structure at the edge. The edges expand to emphasise the experience of the widening of the space and the panoramic views of the landscape offered. The first floor was similarly articulated with basic geometric shapes and considerations for natural lighting through galss windows. To increase the complexity of the stuructre curves were added into the roof to metonomise...

Week 5 models Redone

In this blog post I detail my procedure for making various architectural models of my room at different scales and through different media through snapshots of the design process. Whilst initial models were made for this task, they seemed to be messy and inadequate as reflections of my skill, and so were remade as follows. The card model 1:20, the cardboard model 1:10 and the paper model 1:50, respectively have their construction shown below . Please take time to read the text and use the images as a flip book, a sort of timelapse detailing the construction. Card Model The first task allowed for the construction of a paper/card model, initially a paper model was made but it became flimsy for proper photography, hence a new one made of card was constructed. Due to isolation restrictions all materials used were recycled, with the main white card being old manilla folders , other materials included cling wrap and recycled advertising sheets. This model is made on a 1: 20 sca...
